After last week's shocking tribal council on Survivor where Natalie switched her vote to get out Alec instead of Keith, she was doing damage control lying to her alliance by telling them she got confused and voted for the wrong person. They all believed her, but she knew what she was doing. The next morning, Natalie reminded Keith she was the one who saved him and they need to go against Jon.

At the reward challenge, it's another obstacle course where two teams have to go through it and put together a puzzle in the end to win. The winners get a spa day with a ton of food. Keith, Missy, and Jon win the reward. However, during the challenge Missy twisted her ankle. Then, Jon switched his spot with Baylor because he felt she should enjoy it with her mom. Natalie also volunteered herself for Exile Island, which let Jon and Jaclyn have alone time at camp. Baylor then takes her mom on her back since she can barely walk after the injury. Jon says in his interview that he switched places to solidify his alliance and win favor with the jury. He must not watch Survivor because juries never care about that. They're always too busy sulking about being voted out.

At the reward, Baylor says in her interview that she still wants Jon out even though he gave her his reward. Missy's ankle is swollen, but she still doesn't want medical attention for it. Baylor is enjoying Keith's company and for the first time all game, sees his playful side.

Back at Huyopa, Jon and Jaclyn talk about Natalie screwing up the tribal council vote. They still don't think she is gunning for them, but they want the jury to know she made a big mistake in voting for the wrong person. Little do they know...

At Exile, Natalie is having a hard time missing her twin sister, but says she will make her decisions in the game carefully and strategically from here on out.

They get to the immunity challenge and Jeff brings medical to check out Missy's swollen ankle. He says he has to do an X-ray to check to see if it's broken, which would mean pulling her out of the game. The doctor says it's not life threatening so it's her call if she wants to leave the game. Of course, Missy says she is staying so they go on with the challenge. They have to balance on a teeter-totter so their vase doesn't fall and break. The gusts of wind keep thrashing the contestants. It's between Jon and Natalie in the end, but the wind blows Jon's vase over so Natalie wins immunity. He thinks the plan is to still get Keith out, but we'll see if that happens.

Natalie tells Keith they want to split the votes so if Jon uses his idol then Jaclyn goes home. She tells him to act normally at tribal. Baylor tells her mom the plan, but she is against voting out Jon since she says they have a deal with him. Baylor is upset because her mom keeps putting men before herself and her daughter, which always leads to her downfall.

At tribal, Keith says the others should use him as a vote, while Missy says she doesn't waver because she is loyal to a fault. We'll see about that...

Jeff reads the votes and as expected it comes down to 2 each for Jaclyn, Jon, and Keith. They revote with Jon being voted out. Survivor is at its best when there are blindsides, but this one was expected by the audience so it wasn't as good as a normal blindside. Next week is the finale and reunion! We'll be rooting for Natalie because her social and physical games have been solid.
